Tax tribulations and budget cuts dim Golden State - Liana Whitehead - CSU Fresno

The scents of polling, propositions and politics are in the air, and Fresno State students are facing a number of choices — 11 to be exact. The upcoming November elections give students the chance to voice our hopes, doubts and ideas concerning government issues on the national and state level. For the sake of time, space and our sanity, let’s tackle one issue at a time. The Golden State is facing 11 potential propositions, one of which will directly affect California college students. With supporting donations reaching over $10 million, Proposition 30 is paving a promising path in Gov. Jerry Brown’s eyes. A debatable blend of two previous Brown initiatives, Prop. 30 claims to improve California’s educational system while positively influencing the state’s budget and deficit issues.
